Prince Harry flew home from war with three wounded soldiers, and it changed his life forever

Prince Harry spoke candidly on a trip to the US about a moment that changed his life forever.

"Returning to the UK after my first deployment, I shared the flight home with three critically injured British soldiers, all in induced comas, and the body of a Danish soldier killed in action," Prince Harry said. "From that moment I knew I had the responsibility to help all veterans who had made huge personal sacrifices to their countries to lead healthy and dignified lives after service."

The prince joined First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden to tour the USO Warrior and Family Center at Fort Belvoir in Virginia.

Prince Harry served two tours in Afghanistan and only announced the end of his military career earlier this year. He went on to say that it is not only important to support veterans coming home with physical injuries, but "invisible" ones as well.

"This fear of coming forward as a result of this stigma which surrounds mental health, is one of the greatest challenges that veterans face today," Prince Harry said. "Not only is it okay to talk about it, we have to talk about it."
